I have lived in Rockwood for over 50 years. I graduated from Rockwood High School in the mid ’60s, and that was some of the best times I have had — and memories that will last forever.

Some memories I would just as soon not remember, and others I think about every day. I was there when Campbell High School closed and their students came to our high school (Rockwood High School). South Harriman High School closed and their students moved in to Harriman High School.

Indivisible Tennessee is a loose network of engaged citizens — one of many such groups that have emerged since November — dedicated to opposing the Trump agenda within our own congressional districts by calling, meeting with, and if necessary peacefully protesting, our representatives and senators.

Recent town halls have given us the opportunity to speak passionately about issues that are, particularly in the case of any repeal of the Affordable Care Act, a matter of life and death for many of us or our loved ones.

Reading Mr. Largen’s column this past Friday, I felt the need to reply again. No. 1 is that he overlooked the point that I previously mentioned that Rockwood High School was not satisfied with our ACT scores and we are making changes to improve our scores. We do not like being last in the county and will make every attempt to improve them.

Last week, after the U.S. Senate confirmed Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, I emailed our Tennessee senators to express my displeasure in their vote to exercise the “nuclear option” changing the requirement from a “super majority” of 61 votes to a “simple majority” of 51 votes.
